And now at this late day the habi,
which is rs old as the first courtship.

Tie Woman Who Wrote ~E,eStno -

In l752 Frances Barney was born.
Nothing IN her childhood indicated that

secure for herself an honorable place
among English writer's. She was shv
and silent. Her brothers and sisters
called her q Ounce, and not without
some show OF reason; for at eirht wears
OF age she did not know her letters. An
educ& ION, however, which to most Girls
would have been useless. bat which
suited tas1y mind better thanelaborate
culture, was IN constant progress during
her passage from childhood to woman
hood. The great book of human nature
was turned over before her, and every
marked popularity instantly caught her
notice and remained encraven on her
imagination. When she was fifteen her
iather took second wife. and the new
mother insisted that nothing could he
more disadyantageous to a young lady
than 70 be a noyel-writer so Frances
relnquished her fayorite pursuit and

Although the propensity for writing

Quietly Away While Aslecp-The Last
scene-sketch Of His Career.

NEW YORK, March s-Henry Ward Beecher
died at $50 a. m The patient began TO sink
slowly after midnight and the watchers at his
bedside soon saw that the end was near. Mr..
Beecher passed quietly away while asleep. He
never recovered consciousness after paralysis
stupefed his mind.
II is, Of course too early yet TO announce any
thing definite about the funeral, but the inter
ment will probably be in Greenwood. Mr..
Beecher never bought a lot there, but his
children and some OF his grandchildren lie
on Evergreen Hill on the plot OF Mrs.
John T. Howard Mr. Beechers twin
babies died on the same day when the after
wards famous preacher was young and poor and
comparatively unknown. He was living at the
time In Mr. Towards house, and was given
space on Evergreen Hill. 1t is possible that
Plymouth Church or the citizens OF Brooklyn at
large will buy plot and erect handsome
monument.
Those present at the last moment were; Col

Hattie and Daisy, and son, Henry Ward
Beecher, Miss Edith Beecher, W. G. Beecher
and wife, Rev. Samuel Scoyille, Mrs. s. SEQ

ARMY OBSERVERS.
Reasons for the Extensive Percentage Of
Desertion from Our Army.

Reasons for the Extensive Percentage OF
Desertion from Our Army.
Small as our army is, there is a most
excessive percentage of desertion from
it, and this although the men are far
better fed and paid than any soldiers in
the world. The reasons for this state
of affairs can be readily found. A
great number of men enlist for the pur-
pose of being sent West, and then de-
serting. This class is very large and
exceeding hard to deal with, as it is
next to impossible to apprehend them,
owing to the general feeling through
out the mountain regions that they
have escaped from kind Of slavery.
Another class liable to desert consists
of young men of good family who have
become dissipated, and enlisted in a
moment of despair. But the strangest
class is that of the chronic deserters.
These men enlist, desert, and then en-
list again. The recruiting Office is one
of the best places in which to apprehend
deserters. Not infrequently men give
themselves up, preferring to serve theil
sentence in the military prison and
live in peace. | heard such man say
that after he had deserted. he could not
see three men talking together without
suspectihg that they were about to give
him up to the Government and secure
the thirty dollars reward. One of the
most amusing incidents of my life was
when man came to my office, an
nounced himself as deserter, and wish,
ed to be sent to prison. Told him that
the boat for the Island was just on the
point of leaving, and that if we could
catch it the commanding officer would
probably be good enough to place him
in confinement. He waited to hear nc
more, but rushed down the hill at full
speed and by great exertions succeeded
in getting on board the boat which was
to carry him to prison. The cause Of
this strange performance was desire
to secure medical attendance free
of charge. The hardest cases are those
where men surrender themselves in
order to escape intolerable blackmail
by some one who has become possess
ed of his secret and constantly threat
ems exposure unless he iswell paid fol
silence. Captain Junes, in 81. Loui,
Globe Democrat.

LONDON, March ia sensation has
been caused by the publication OF General
Sir Redvers Buller's evidence before
the Land Commission. 1t appears that
General Butler testified that what law
there was in Counties Kerry, Clare and
Cork was on the side of the rich, and he ex-
pressed the opinion that il would be scri-
GUS matter, with their grievances unre-
dressed, TO attempt 10 suppress by force
the tenants right TO openly associate for
the protection OF their interests. A ma
jority Of the tenants, he SAID, struggled
to pay their rents, and where they
could, did pay; but in great many cases
the rents were too high and such as the
tenants could not pay. He said there
would never be peace In Ireland until there
had been established court having strong
coerciye powers over bad landlords and
protective powers over poor tenants
The Pal Nal Gazette declares that the
facts attested by General Butler come like
a flash of vivid lightning, revealing the
naked horrors Of organized injustice in
Ireland 1t says; "No crime which the
moonlighters or dynamiters can commit
will be comparable to the criminality of
giving another days grace TO the foul fab
rlc OF legalized wrong erected on Irish
sofia fabric which the Tories now seek
to buttress by further misdeeds."
